Gene information for GANC (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2595
Official gene symbolGANC
Full nameglucosidase, alpha; neutral C
Aliases,MGC138256,
Gene summaryGlycosyl hydrolase enzymes hydrolyse the glycosidic bond between two or more carbohydrates, or between a carbohydrate and a non-carbohydrate moiety. This gene encodes a member of glycosyl hydrolases family 31. This enzyme hydrolyses terminal, non-reducing 1,4-linked alpha-D-glucose residues and releases alpha-D-glucose. This is a key enzyme in glycogen metabolism and its gene localizes to a chromosomal region (15q15) that is associated with susceptibility to diabetes. [provided by RefSeq]
